Quick & Easy Installation

Techno EPDM is available in sheet sizes up to 12.20m in width and 30.5m in length, resulting in fewer seams and less installation time

Superior Durability & Longevity

Techno EPDM offers unmatched resistance to ozone, UV radiation, extremes of low and high temperatures, and ultimately ageing

Low Life-Cycle Cost

Techno EPDM requires little or no maintenance. This feature, combined with the inherent durability and competitive installed cost, results in a very low life-cycle cost

High Flexibility

Techno EPDM remains highly flexible even at temperatures down to -45 c

Most Techno EPDM roofs can be installed in one piece.

A Typical Cold Roof Installation

Strip the existing roof back to bare decking or overboard with new ply or OSB.

Our largest roll is 12.20m by 30.5m. Simply order from your stockist before midday for next day delivery.

We only cut rectangles or squares, we cannot do triangles, circles, L shapes etc.

When ordering your EPDM, please ensure you allow for any extra membrane to either drop into the gutter or extend up a wall or parapet.

The EPDM is cut to size to fit the roof, meaning you have a pre cut tarpaulin on site, should the weather suddenly change.

Remove arris rails from any open edges and fix 2" x 1" timber batten to perimeter.

Lay rubber in the correct position and allow to relax for 20 minutes

Fold one half of the membrane back and after stirring, roller apply water based adhesive to the deck. Repeat to other half of the roof. Sweep out any air bubbles.

Thinly apply contact adhesive to both rubber and upstand. Allow to dry then mate together.

Warm Roofs

In order to comply with ever changing building regulations, the roof may need to be insulated and turned into a warm roof

The best way to achieve this is by using a foil backed insulation and overboard with OSB or plywood, screwed into the deck. The membrane can then be adhered to the timber. This option normally means that the perimeter fascias will need to be replaced due to the finished deck height being raised

Use primer and 9" flashing tape to seal where the roof corners abut the building.

Fix TechnoTrims to the roof perimeter c\w matching corners and joiners using the colour coded polynails.

Other Common Details

Joining membrane

Use primer and 3" splice tape.

External corners

For skylights, chimneys etc use primer and 9" flashing tape.

Adjoining slates or tiles

Remove bottom courses of tiles, lift underfelt and adhere membrane to the layboard with contact adhesive. Then reinstall underfelt and tiles.

Vent pipes

Use primer and preformed pipe boot for pipes up to 6" diameter.

Rainwater outlet

Lay membrane over downpipe, cut aperture, insert spigot and secure with fixings Apply primer and seal with 9" flashing.

Joining felt roof

Overlap onto adjacent roof with termination bar and waterblock.

Parapet

Dress the membrane up and over the parapet and stick with contact adhesive. Then install a coping stone bedded on mortar or use a TechnoTrim to the outer elevation.

Draining onto slates or tiles

Dress membrane onto tiles by approx 5", secure 9" lead, in 1m lengths through the rubber, 3" on the deck and 6" onto the tiles. Waterproof the lead with primer and 5" covertape.

Thru wall outlet/scupper

Use primer and 9" flashing tape to seal.

Rooflight

Cut rubber from corner to opposite corner. Use 9" flashing tape and primer to seal the corners.
